Taylor Swift's political silence sparks belief she voted Trump

Taylor Swift has remained notoriously tight-lipped on her political leanings, but her friend and back-up dancer Todrick Hall says that anyone who takes her silence as evidence she voted for Donald Trump are making a "huge assumption."

Swift faced criticism throughout the election season for remaining mum, and not following in the footsteps of her fellow pop stars, who expressed their support for Hillary Clinton and disdain for Trump.

Her sole foray into the world of politics was as an apolitical Instagram post on Election Day telling her followers to "go out and VOTE."

But according to Hall, who has been friends with the "Look What You Made Me Do" singer for years, nothing about Swift leads him to believe that she's set on making America great again.

"Many people have been tweeting me, 'She supports Trump! She probably voted for Trump!' They're making this huge assumption, when Taylor has never to my knowledge come out and said anything about her being pro-Trump," he told Yahoo! "But people would still rather believe that she is the one who is pushing Trump's agenda."

[Alas Babylon!]

So now it has come down to this with the Driveby Media and the Left. If you're NOT political; it means you're for Donald Trump. If you're an actor or singer, or anyone famous, you MUST be for Hillary, against half the country, and above all against Trump.

We seriously need pushback against these people!

Cue the "Blasphemer!" guy.

These Leftards require a Loyalty Oath to The Party whereas they are critical of any loyalty to America.

Swift is wise to keep her politics to herself, no matter who she voted for.
Stick to the great music.

[Bratch]

Ms. Swift appears to be taking the Michael Jordon approach.

Which is “Don’t tick off half of your customer base.”

[rktman]

Oh, the old bullying “Either you speak up or we know you’re a racis’” deal again. No more bullying.

[Texas Eagle]

Personally, I'm tired of her shameless self-promotion.

[BlackAdderess]

She has been under relentless attack for a long, long time.

[JohnBrowdie]

wow. now, not properly or enthusiastically endorsing the “correct” set of beliefs is cause for criticism.

thought crime can’t be far behind.

Taylor Swift is smart. She leaves politics out of her public life, and instead just lets her music speak for itself.

She probably read Laura Ingraham's Shut Up and Sing.

[real saxophonist]

I’ve read a bit about how she’s pretty smart with her ‘brand’, and that probably includes not pissing off half of her customer base.

[Alberta's Child]

LMAO.

Oh, the old bullying “Either you speak up or we know you’re a racis’” deal again. No more bullying.

She took a lot of heat in the press last year for not taking a public stand against Trump and endorsing Hillary. You know, "girl power" over "pussy grabber" and all that.

To Swift's credit, she didn't take the bait.

[jacknhoo]

She voted for Trump, before she didn’t.

[Leaning Right]

Yep. Not so long ago, you were targeted by the left if you were conservative (pro-Trump). Exhibit A here is Tim Allen. Now the left has upped the ante.

You can’t even be silent anymore.

[txrefugee]

Obviously, Taylor Swift is one of the very few wise performers who believe their job is to “shut up and sing.” She should be commended for having both good sense and talent.

[CincyRichieRich]

You must hate America but love your ability to make $$$ off of poor suckers who make America great..well some of them.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

LOL! That was good!

[Yaelle]

We DO need pushback against the totalitarians!!!!!!!

When is someone going to SLAM the media for trying to out people as potential Trump,supporters!?!? Ask these a holes to their faces, DO YOU WANT 100% OF AMERICANS TO VOTE FOR WHOM THE MEDIA WANTS??? LIKE THEY DID FOR SADDAM HUSSEIN??? Get them on record, all these idiots, that they are in the media blasting people and trying to hurt their careers TO HAVE THEM FALL IN LINE WITH THE RULING CLASS.

Americans need to wake up. We are supposed to defend to the death the right of our fellow Americans to have freedom to vote and live as we wish. We have to show Americans that they are becoming little Nazis, shaming individualism and freedom in their fellows.
